    2016: "I alone can fix it."

    Whatever noble aims we may have, paths we may be on, or necessary efforts we may make, our only real freedom is to awaken now, this very instant, to the mystery and miracle of being, to the spacious awareness that we are. It is only this immediate awakening to the deepest levels of ourselves, to the conscious source that connects us all, that will enable us to experience and manifest real harmony, intelligence, kindness, love, and compassion in our lives and bring about the transformation in the world that we all wish for. -Dennis Lewis

    As you so aptly point out Sandy -- it was broke 4 yrs. ago when Trump and Putin started their field day in the WH and nothing has changed since then. Still VERY broken and it is most definitely on Trump's back.

    Biden and everyone possible needs to keep throwing it out there -- TRUMP is doing this himself so he can 'win' by fear again and finish ruining America. Loud and clear -- it is on Trump's plate because he put it there, kept it there and wants you to believe he will now fix it. Phooney.

    I also feel like Trump is throwing as much shit at the fan as he can now, breaking as many rules, regulations and laws as possible, seeing how much he can get away with without penalty so that if he does get re-elected, he will raise the bar of destruction to the nth degree full speed ahead bringing our country to its knees. There will be no limit, no limit, to what he will try if re-elected. The man is a stark raving lunatic. Don the Con. The Bushes, McCains and any other Republican dynasty family should, for the good of their country, come out and say they are voting for Biden. None of this, 'well, I'm not gonna say, or 'I'm not gonna vote Don but I'm not gonna say Biden'. This is the time they need to take one for the country. Stand up for the truth and justice now or their beloved country will no longer be. Plain and simple.

    ThumbsUp Divine. All so painfully true.

    And there is this -- no one with any real respect for law and order and wanting their city and or state to be able to cool down would welcome Trump the manipulator who has NEVER changed from almost day 1. Divide and conquer is all he knows and he uses chaos and dis-information and any other dirty trick that can be thought up for him. I know he will go -- but I hope this falls as flat as some of the other things he has tried. His base just gushes over him, but more and more people who still have the ability ( no matter what party ) to actually reason on a highly logical basis are far from keen now.

    illinoislady - The signs for poop, great. Reminds people pick up and put in garbage can, not leave on trail. In the spring they would also be good to put in patches of goatheads/puncture vines

    Protesters need to start stationary protests, not marches. The Protests need to be on sidewalks, not streets. The protesters should be silent, not chanting. Protesters should not respond to alt-right and should just video the alt-right with cameras. Standing in front of buildings on sidewalks after business hours will protect those businesses from alt-right destruction. Where are the leaders of the Civil Rights movement? They aren't all in their 80's. These protesters need experienced organization.

    Love the dog poop markers, since it spews from his mouth how fitting to have his face on it.

    Most of the Civil Rights movement leaders would be well into their 70's if they are still alive and most were born into oppression. Who do you think could provide this leadership today, do you have someone in mind (just curious, not judgmental)?

    This is what happened to peaceful protesters in 1965 - nothing has changed

    March 7, 1965 - About 600 people begin a march from Selma, Alabama, to Montgomery, Alabama, led by Lewis and Hosea Williams. Marchers demand an end to discrimination in voter registration. At the Edmund Pettus Bridge, state and local lawmen attack the marchers with billy clubs and tear gas, driving them back to Selma. Bloody!!!

    Any challenge to the racist caste that has power will, by the very nature of the caste system, end in violence against those challenging that system

    Hi guys.....

    Today I've been going around in a sorta glum frame of mind...on purpose. By that I mean I've been deliberately taking myself down a dark and winding road and letting a little depression settle over me like a dank fog....

    I so remember the shock and awe and horror that descended on me and on so many millions of others election day 2016. I won't soon forget the faces of the Hillary supporters who looked like big hammers had come and socked them in the guts. They looked sick, ill--and no doubt felt sick and ill.

    I don't want to feel that again. To this end all day I've been going around mentally living a second win for Donald Trump in November. I don't trust Trump and Co and the GOP to not do absolutely anything and everything they can to win this damned thing. They are ruthless and corruptible and shameless.

    I'm gonna do everything I can do--and the only thing, really, that I can do--and vote for Biden. But by mentally living a win for Trump at least I will be somewhat desensitized to it should it happen.

    Maybe this finessing is being silly on my part. I'm just thinking of my mental well-being. I don't want to drop into the depression I felt back then.

    But think of it: we've endured four years and here we are--still the same trustworthy good people who've already stood up to a lot of harsh realities in our personal lives. And if need be we can endure four more within our families and neighborhoods, along with our beloved friends and relatives and pets, in our fruitful studios and gardens and kitchens.

    Not only striving but thriving.

    We'll be fine.

    And should DT win there is no doubt in my mind that this era we are living in will go down along with slavery and Vietnam and Watergate and others as a time when our still-young nation disappointed itself, performed shortsightedly, negligently, dishonestly, cruelly.

    And I'm sure that Donald Trump in his quiet moments is smart enough to know that. He will not be lauded. He will be critiqued harshly. The truths that the GOP has been helping him hide will emerge, too, as truths always do in time. The presidency hasn't enshrined him, as I think he's wanted. It's revealed him.

    So this week I'm working on desensitization, petting Miss Pantaloon, and thanking God for term limits.

    I'm not so sure I can endure another four years of Drumpf (especially now that I have a second, highly aggressive cancer--ocular melanoma). Maybe survive if I'm lucky, but not thrive. With all the norms he's shattered I don't think he will abide by Constitutional term limits--he'll just anoint Javanka or DJTJ and the Trump-bots will embrace them--because that family hates whom their voters hate and tell their voters to keep fearing those whom they already fear. This emerging tribalism is disgusting. But it might all be moot because his new coronavirus czar's plan is to go for herd immunity by standing back and letting the virus do its thing, taking out a couple million Americans (and betting most of them would never have voted for him anyway). Sweden rolled the dice on that but lost--it's the only country with a higher per capita death rate than ours. I can deal with another year of masking & social distancing, but it will work only if most other people do the same. If there are no restrictions, I'm toast no matter how assiduously I try to protect myself.

    Sandy, I know you're dealing with a lot and facing a new challenge to your health, which saddens me. I hope--and believe--that you will get through this and deal with it as intelligently and courageously as you have everything else.

    I don't know whatever possessed me to think that the democratic country I was born into would not be challenged and rocked and rolled and attacked and contorted and distorted and made to sweat it out as if IT had contracted a dangerous disease....

    But somehow I thought we were forever, cast in stone, like those images on Mt. Rushmore.

    We aren't. Democratic entities--and governments in general--aren't static but dynamic things.

    And how this one will end up--who knows?

    Trump's an asshole. But it's the party he's a member of that makes me ill.

    And the folks who voted for him and will do so again.

    Pardon my mixed metaphors but the dumbing down of America has come home to roost. We have sowed the wind and will reap a whirlwind.

    And I'm afraid it will get worse before it gets better.
